The developer cartridge may be attached and detached from the developer exchanging section after deterioration of the developer in use is displayed, and the used developer is collected within the second developer storage room and the new developer is supplied into the developer cartridge after the collection of the used developer. The developer cartridge may be attached to the body of the developing apparatus at any time, and the used developer may be collected within the second developer storage room by operating the developer cartridge by a control signal from the body side of the developing apparatus when life of the developer in use is completed.
